Palestinian factions compete in Birzeit student elections

Birzeit University, one of the top universities in Palestine, is holding its student council elections.

There has not been a national election in Palestine for over a decade, so this vote is seen as an opportunity to test the political temperature in the occupied territories.

Al Jazeera’s Harry Fawcett reports from Birzeit in the Occupied West Bank.
